  Danger lines, how to solve it?

  Posted by Merel Shermer on May 11, 2015 at 1:20 pm

  Dear all,

  I’ve made a mistake, a big one.

  I’ve relinked at least one clip to the wrong media file. Now the edit is not pointing to the right media, and all of my edits have now insufficient media and the striped danger lines on them.

  I can’t relink media, or go to project link media. All my work is now gone 🙁

  How do I fix this?

  [Merel Shermer] “I can’t relink media, or go to project link media.”

  Why not?

  Have you tried:
  Select all in project panel, got to File > Make Offline and then File > Link Media and point to the right file this time.
  or you could also try Replace Footage for selected file(s) and point to different files as needed.

  I can’t click it, it’s light grey but I haven’t gone off line maybe that’s the trick.

  Replace footage I already tried, doesn’t work, it does not remember the cuts, the raw video files are the only thing thats intact but ofcourse are longer that my cuts.

  The only cases where ‘Make Offline’ should be greyed out is if it’s already offline or if it’s synthetic media and not linked to any media on disk. So I think you just need to select whichever files are already linked, and nothing else, and make those offline before doing link media again.

  Don’t worry about the cuts you made int he timeline. You just need to point the source files to the right place, and then they will match to whatever you did with them in sequence(s). In other words, you want to be selecting things only in the project panel right now because it it’s your project (source) files that need to be relinked correctly. Selecting things in the timeline will just make things very confusing.

  Is there an Auto Saved version you can go back to?
